Humanistic Spirit in Du Fu's Poems
Humanistic spirit is the universal self-care of human beings, which is manifested in the maintenance, pursuit and concern for human dignity, value and destiny. Du Fu's "Three Officials" and "Three Farewells" well embody the humanistic spirit. It truly describes the thoughts, feelings, actions and language of county officials, customs officials, old women, old people, brides, husbands and others in a specific environment, vividly reflects the social reality of that period and the profound disasters and pains of working people, and shows people tragic life tragedies. In these descriptions of the hardships of life, on the one hand, the poet has deep sympathy for the people who have suffered greatly, and hates the enslavement and persecution of the people by officials; On the other hand, he supported the counter-insurgency war of the dynasty and hoped that the people would suffer hardships and cooperate with the dynasty to put down the rebellion. This complex and contradictory thought accords with the poet's thought of worrying about the country and the people.
